Here is my little puzzle game. I interpreted "Villain" to mean "farmhand", which is the origin of the word - look it up in wikipedia, the relevant entry is available on the game page. You are the Villain and you must reap crops by order of your king. Watch the introduction.

I included some hints (hidden initially).

I tested with IE8/IE10, Google Chrome and Firefox. Chrome is recommended, but it should work with the other browsers as well. Sorry, there is no load indicator, so if something seems off (particularly the sound) it might just be delayed. :)

Nice interpretation of the theme. The puzzles are pretty easy, though!

Yes, I had some inspiration from Ultima V for the tiles. I really liked that game :)

I realized too that the levels aren't too difficult. Maybe I will expand the game post-LD :)

Fun game! Agreed with the other commenters. Make more and harder levels :=)

Great interpretation of the theme!
The presentation is also really nice, the tiles are drawn well.
The game is pretty easy though, and it gets repetitive fast.

I had a blast with this game. It was fun and I got to the 17th level before dying. I see it as an accomplishment as there were no more wizards or cows or goats in there anymore.

Good work with the game, it was a lot of fun. Congratulations on finishing.

Yeah, it's pretty easy and basic. You should've at least done more with the gnome/goat mechanic, as once you've realized what they do, you have no incentive to talk to them again.

Nice, but I don't feel me like a villain.

Nice take on the theme, good job on the level design and, of course, the goats.
